It will be understood that the 'thread is 'wound lupon, theY form inY a particular shape for 'subsequent "use in a manner to lbe herein? after described. Y

Two cooperating` thread holding jaws 36-37 are ymounted upon the support 35, one of these jaws (the jaw 36v in the construction herein shown) being pivotally :nifounted, and the other jaw being` prefer- ;ably rigidly secured to Vactuatingrod 38fis attached at one end to ythe movable jaw 36 and at its opposite end the support. A jaw said rod isiin contact with a jaw actuator movement in the support 35, as shown in Figure 5 of the The actuator has a groovewitlr in which the eii'd'ofthe rod 38 is located, when the jaws are open. An adjusting screw 40 is ysecured in the end of the'actu` 'ator toyenable thefproper movement of the actuatorto. be nicely determined, saidl actuator being operated by contact' of the screw with one of the bearings 32. At,s the termination of a winding operation of threads lupon athreadform, thescrew 40f-appurte- Vnant. to that form will be'carried against a bearing 3.2` and the actuator 39 will thereby have a slidinginovement imparted to it to force the rod 38,0ut of the groove in which its endyis located. This movement ofthe rod will cause the feed ljaws to be brought-into close contact'thereby clamping a thread between them and the rotation ofthe thread form, continuing'for an inter- I val'after this clamping action takes place, Vthread being broken. thus broken it is held by a thread holder iii the formof a weighted lever 4l pivotally mountedas on the jaw 37.

v`Belt shifting mechanism for moving' the belts ll-l5 from the pulleys 13 tothe pulleys 16, and vice versa comprises a Vbelt shifter bar VZ2slidably mounted in brackets 43V supported onthe standards ll, said bar havingspliiiese to prevent turning' move- .ment of the bar in its bearings. Belt Shifters, 45-*46 are secured to said bar, projecti'ng therefrom to engage the belts 14-15 asshown-in Figure'l of the drawings.

,Threadjformbrakes lifelS, of any suitable material,as leather, project from brake posts 49-50 secured totheshifter bar 42, these brakes being suitably formed to enpu'lleys 16 when the belts are shiftedftherefrom and to stop rotation of and consequently of the thread forms. The brake 47 projects from the 'underside of its jpost, whilethe'brake 48 projects from the end of its post, and both brakes are suitablyformed and located to movel past the edge` ofand on to a pulley for braking purposes after said brakes have I and proj ect-ing' been moved beyond the edges of to release them. The post 49 alsoserves as a belt shifting post. andanother belt shift-.

ing post 5l is secured to and projects from lthe bar42,'said post'being located at times inthe path of movement of abelt shiftingl lever 52 pivotally mounted on the side of va standard 11 and having a reciprocating movement caused by movement of one of the posts 33 and at other times by a belt shifting lever actuating post 53 secured to from the threadguide frame hereinbefore described, andas shown in Figure 2 of the drawings, the post 33, as

hereinbefore described, comprising' Aa part vof said thread guide frame, it being' the Vpost 33 located near said llever and in position to strike it as the thread guide frame is shifted from one position to anotherby 'engagement ofV the arm 29 with the threaded shaft, as

hereinafter described. A spring receiving arm 54 extends from the lever 52 to receive a belt shifting lever actuating spring 55 Vsecured atV its upper end tov said frame and at its lower end to a standard ll, as shown in Figure l ofthe drawings, points of said spring being' so one of the 4brackets 43, and as'shown iii/Figure l 'of the drawings. VAEach lever encircles one ot' the Qrooved actuators 2tand its lower endl isi-in the path of ,movement of vthread formjawactuator 57, herein shown as a headed-pin, resiliently mounted in a support therefor. such su'pportbeing a post .58 secured to andprojectingg from they bar 3l at one end of 'the' machine and the other support being theI guidearm- 29 atA the oppov site end of the machine, a-nd as. shown in Figure 2. of.. the drawings. An actuating handle 59 is secured to each of the levers 56, which levers are each manually ope-rated in one Vdirectiongand mechanically operated by the actuator 57 in thev opposite direction. l The operation ofv theA machine, briefly statedis as follows:

A thread form at the leftfhand end of the machine, as` viewedyin-Figure 1,. ispiii condition for winding'thread thereon, the thread, however, being' omitted vfrom the showing' for sake of clearness The jaws are open and the winding` `*opera-tion is understood as nearing its completion. The

the attaching arranged that e as the lever is swung on its pivot a straight the pulleys jopening end of the machine is 'in lcondition for removal of the wound lmass`- therefrom, .closed and the jaw 4operating'lever 56 being in the Aposition tof which it has'bee'n manually moved to close said jaws'lior removal of thethread formttheretrom: As the windoperation continues as to the thread form at thellett hand end ot the machine,` 'andiscompleted the adjustingy screw 40 at the'lett hand'end ot the'thread guide frame maires contactwith the bearing at this ot' thcinachine, thereby moving the jaw 'actuatori' to clampthe thread 'guide jaws upon the `thread being wound, as hereinbetore described, and the thready is thereby broken-,as hereinbetore settorth.k This operation, aslit will be understood, has been caused by a movement o-thethread guide frame tothe left, which movement iscaused by the engagement of' the thread guide arm 29 with the threaded shaft 27. At about the same' time that thethread is broken, as above described, this movement otv the thread guide armcarries the post 33 at the righthand end of the machine against the lower end of the belt shitting leverV 52,

thread torni thev opposite swinging said lever on its pivotV and mov,-A

T his movement ofthe belt'shitting mechanisin a'lsofengages the brake 4:8 with its pulley i6, thereby' quickly stopping rotation of the three/dpto; shitting im. rechanis'm, l torinat e and in a manner to'bev presently ic-d as to such thread form. AThe1 thread that has been deposited by vthen-:fin op'eiatioiiupon the thread torni Aat 'the lett Yhand end of the machine, and Vin predetermined manner, isnow in cond' yio removal, and the machine attendinserts one of the branches ot 'a doubled- 'wirecc're or formfretainer 62 through the between the jaws vof the thread teren and at the l'heels thereof, and' the wound mass otythread is'thus located between the branches lof said core so that when the iormed mass isremoved from the form r4it willA be inthe shape' ot loops on opposite sides ott-he core and as shown in vFigure 6 ot the'drawing, and in condition tor atwistet the wires constituting the branches to 'securelthe loops thereto. To rem'ove the vThis operation of the belt starts rotation of the toi-ined mass the lattendant moves, by means 56 appurtena Vof 'the handle' V59,the levervr j to 'thus closing to the l thread "form `referred thev jaws beingv thread guide traine the right hand end of the to said thread form,

machine has been undergoing a winding` operation to vwind a mass of thread thereon vand the thread guide frame hasbeen gradually `:moving towardv the right Vowing to engagement of the arm 29 with the threaded portion et Athe shaft 4At a certain time, and after the threadtorm has been placed in condition Ator anotherwinding operation at the left of the machinejas just above described, the jaw actuator v:'37 appurtenant to said thread form willzbe moved` against the lever 56 atv the left of the machine, and

said lever will thereby -be operatedv to move the actuator 24 to open the thread form jaws in condition Jfor a windingot a thread mass thereon. if i i At the completion of movement oi the hereinbefore described, the shitting of the belt' onto the pulleys 18,-16 at the right effected a reverse movement of the sha'ft 27 and also startedlrotation of the thread form at the rightand in a direction opposite to that fat which the thread form at the lett 'as rotated, the thread being guided to the underside of ,the right thread form and to the upper side of the left thread torni. This reversal of rotation of the shaft 2T causes a incvement of the thread guide iframe to the right and the winding of the thread from the inner to the outer end Vof the thread form at vthe right, the rest of the operation being as vabeve describedwith respect to Vthe lett thread guide, and thel operation of the machine being continued as long as may be desired.

In accordance with the provisions of the patent statutes I have described the principles of operation of my invention, together with the device which I now consider to repesent thejbest embodiment thereof, but l" desire to have it understood that the device shown is only illustrative and that the invention may be carried out by -other means.
